Deed missing information-Legal question
Greetings,
My neighbor has a narrow driveway next to my investment property that lies between our 2 houses.
In these parts it's not uncommon for some of these driveways to be an easement that would allow neighboring houses to use. (I could access my backyard thru this driveway)
My deed makes no reference to the driveway.
Thru the city records i found a deed for my property dated 1979 that states, "together with rights in common driveway bordering property on north".
This would be the driveway in question.
I'm assuming this was overlooked by my atty.
I want to get this changed on my deed then speak to the neighbor if I do have the right to use the driveway.
Any thoughts the best way to proceed?
I have a call into to my attorney but looking for an objective atty's input.
Thanks!
